The End of Technology

Huaxia, Yanbei Sports University.

Ning Zi, who had told Chen Yonggang and Liu Si that he was tired, was resting on campus. Of course, he was surrounded by classmate Lu Xiaoya who could help him rest well.

For young people in their twenties who are in their prime, love is an emotion that cannot be bypassed. No matter how dismissive you are of the opposite sex or the same sex you like, you will inevitably fall for them when you actually meet them.

Or perhaps they have already looked for other alternatives, such as two-dimensional lovers, or fun dolls or electric toys.

To put it bluntly, youth often represents the vigorous secretion of hormones under the command of the brain.

Probably the brain directly bypasses the body consciousness to force people to feel the beauty of love, forcing boys and girls to go crazy for love.

Dog licking, which has been criticized by countless people, is nothing more than a product of hormone stimulation.

As March said, if you want to be completely free, the best way is to make up your mind to give yourself such a knife and cure it forever.

Ning Zi chose to keep her body intact, so naturally she could not completely give up the temptation of love. And being with people of the opposite sex who are about the same age is naturally much more interesting than being with Chen Yonggang and Liu Si, two half-old guys. Not to mention that he had been bored in the laboratory for two weeks.

In order to show that he was indeed in seclusion, he had not left the chip research center in the past two weeks. At most, he could only wander around the green belt in the center.

In fact, you don’t need to do anything more at this time. Just holding the little hand of the girl you like and listening to the little girl next to you talking about what you have experienced these days can make you feel extra relaxed and make life seem very interesting. , this is probably about doing the right thing at the right age.

"You don't know. When I told Principal Xu that I would give him a 30% discount for 480.3 people, his face turned green."

"Oh, is there a possibility that he just doesn't know how to calculate 0.3 people?"

"Um? That's right. It's really useless to divide people into three parts, but you can round them up. The president of Shuangdan University, you are such a smart person, you can't understand all this, right?"

Seeing Lu Xiaoya's serious expression, Ning Zi couldn't help but laugh.

I have to say that love is beautiful after all. Once you are immersed in that kind of experience, people who originally seemed too dull become much more lively.

After laughing, looking at the girl's pouty mouth, Ning Zi finally couldn't hold it back and directly held the girl in his arms, then lowered his head.

"Woo..."

The girl's slightly frightened voice suddenly stopped, and the fists she had subconsciously clenched finally softened. When a wave of happy dizziness swept over, all words should have lost their meaning at this moment...

"Take a shot chase the sun find the beautiful..."

The sudden ringing of the cell phone disturbed this beauty.

Ning Zi could feel the phone vibrating in his pocket, but he didn't want to pay attention to it at all. Unfortunately, this was something that required interaction, and the ringtone successfully restored the girl's brain to the ability to think, and she quickly realized that this was in broad daylight, In the campus under the bright sky, he resolutely and decisively pushed the boys around him away.

"Hurry up and answer the phone. Maybe there's something important."

Lu Xiaoya's face turned red, wishing she could squeeze out water. Ning Zi was particularly annoyed. Of course, this anger was not directed at the girls around her, but at the person on the other end of the phone. Of course, this irritation is not very justified. After all, it is difficult for the caller to know what the person on the other side is doing.

"What could be more important right now than a date?"

"Stop making trouble, okay? It's broad daylight, there will be people."

"you mean?"

"Ah... don't get it wrong! I don't mean anything else. Just answer the phone quickly, okay!"

Knowing that the atmosphere had been shattered by this phone call, Ning Zi finally took out the phone from his pocket and looked at it. It was Chen Yonggang who was calling. He answered the call in annoyance and asked unkindly: "What? What's going on? Principal Chen."

"ah……"

The person on the other side probably heard Ning Zi's irritable tone, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed and said: "Ning Zi, just now I told Liu Si to let you rest for a while and not to disturb you, but Liu Si happened to answer I got Chen’s call and said that a special meeting on semiconductor development will be held at the University of Sports this evening. Since the main topic is the things you made today, I want to make sure that you can definitely attend. This time In addition to experts, the meeting also includes representatives from China’s semiconductor industry, including Youwei Group. What do you think is appropriate?”

The young man who was not in a good mood refused and said: "I have something very important to do tonight, let's wait for another day."

"Ah? This... To be honest, Ning Zi, several academicians are still waiting for you to give them some explanations. Why don't you make some time to come out? If there is something important, it won't be convenient. Tell me, can I find someone to help you do it?"

Ning Zi was about to speak when he suddenly felt his other hand being taken by someone. He turned his head and saw Lu Xiaoya approaching him, leaning over his ear and saying softly: "Brother Ning, you Just go to the meeting, okay? From the tone of Principal Chen, this meeting is very important. If you don’t go, what will happen if people find out that we are together and I am scolded for causing harm to the country and the people?"

Ning Zi suddenly felt that it was necessary to wear headphones in the future. She obviously didn't turn on the hands-free, but the volume was still too loud, causing sound leakage.

"Forget it, let's stay in Ningyuan. It will start at seven o'clock and end at eight o'clock at the latest. It's okay if it doesn't end. I have something to do after I finish the report."

"Okay, it's settled, hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Zi looked at Lu Xiaoya.

The girl had already run away with a smile: "Let's go, let's go, it's still early, I'll take you to the playground to watch football."

…

Watch the game, listen to Lu Xiaoya’s unreliable commentary next to her, and then go to Ningyuan’s cafeteria to eat together.

Although the subsequent activities lacked content inappropriate for minors, it was still very pleasant for Ning Zi who had been bored in the laboratory for two whole weeks. Then they said goodbye in the cafeteria. Lu Xiaoya decided to go back to review tomorrow's exam content first, while Ning Zi went back to the administration building first and caught March.

"There will be a meeting later. You should know that I have to speak. Is the manuscript ready?"

When Ning Zi looked into the kitten's eyes and asked questions, the printer began to run automatically. Soon a stack of manuscript paper was prepared, and then the kitten lying on the window sill softly meowed: "Meow..."

Ning Zi ignored Yue Yue, and took the manuscript from the printer that he would need to speak later. He walked to the door, thought for a moment and said, "Come with me. I don't have to come back. I'll let Principal Chen do it later." Arrange for people to move the laboratory and everything here to Ningyuan. Well, I will go home and sleep tonight, and you will stay in Ningyuan’s room."

"Meow..." Yue Yue called out again, tilting her head to look at Ning Zi, and then the unique shock of a kitten appeared in Ning Zi's mind: "Beast, she is only a freshman, my former master Although she is also unreliable in this aspect, at least she tolerated it until she graduated from his senior year before taking action."

Although the pronouns in this sentence were poorly used, what was amazing was that Ning Zi understood it without any problems.

However, the handsome boy didn't show any expression. He just walked to the window sill, raised one hand and directly picked up the kitten's neck.

"Meow, what you are doing is wrong, restraint is... Meow, although I don't understand love, but according to human beings' habits and situations, this kind of thing should vary from person to person. After all, everyone's growth experience and physical condition are not the same. It’s different, and my former master was actually horribly stupid in this regard.”

This time the treatment was upgraded, and Ning Zi took March into his arms.

"Meow, do you need me to help you create the most romantic and warm environment tonight?"

Ning Zi finally couldn't help but said: "Shut up!"

"Meow……"

Chen Yonggang called again.

"Ning Zi, the time is coming, are you here?"

"We'll be here soon. We're on our way there in about five minutes."

"Oh, okay, then I'll wait for you at the gate of Ningyuan."

…

Yanbei Sports University, Ningyuan Building, multi-functional medium-sized conference room on the third floor.

The electronic clock hanging on the wall clearly showed that it was only 6:53, but the conference room that could accommodate thirty people was already full.

The six academicians who participated in the test in the afternoon also arrived. At this time, they were surrounded by several people discussing it. However, the academicians would turn their heads to look at the electronic clock hanging in the conference room from time to time.

Others were looking at the test report that had just been sent.

This test report was made in a hurry and is not very comprehensive. Of course, the reason for the incompleteness is not only due to the rush for time, but also because these academicians themselves do not know much about chips with this new structure, and many questions are still waiting for Ning Ju to answer their questions.

Just like the design software mentioned before.

At this stage, even the most advanced foreign EDA software cannot theoretically carry out design and simulation because the chip logic paths run differently, which means the innovation of EDA software. The chip uses two materials, silicon and CNT, which means innovation in material preparation. The transistors attached to the inner wall of the CNT material are definitely not engraved by a photolithography machine, which means the innovation of key production equipment.

They haven't had time to come into contact with all these, at least they haven't seen these instruments in the laboratory. So the only things that can be discussed are the data they already have.

Finally, when the electronic clock reached 6:58, Chen Yonggang and a young figure appeared at the door of the conference room. The noisy discussion suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on this person holding a few photos in his hand. The young man was holding the manuscript, but ignored a kitten that walked into the conference room, skillfully avoiding everyone and jumping onto the window sill.

Chen Yonggang immediately began to introduce: "Dear leaders, academicians, and our corporate CEOs, this is Ning Zi, a classmate of our University of Physical Education, and the inventor of the new chip that I will introduce to you today... Ning Zi, here I come. Let me introduce you..."

"Well, let's keep it simple. I actually don't have a very good personality and have a lot of flaws. I'm afraid that I might accidentally offend everyone after we get to know each other. And I know your attitude towards me very well. So I Just talk about it and listen to it. Basically, everything you care about is already in this report. After I finish speaking, if you have any questions, you can ask them, so that the time can be limited to one hour. If I say If you don’t like what I say, you can leave at any time.”

Ning Zi raised her hand to stop Chen Yonggang's kind introduction.

The attitude isn't very good, but there's really not much to say.

In March, Ning Zi knew all the people present at the meeting who were doing some tricks behind the scenes.

In fact, many of them came to the capital to complain.

The influence of Xing Jianxin alone is actually not that strong. Not every short essay written on the Internet can be searched hotly. Xing Jianxin is indeed a big V and has hundreds of thousands of fans, but without promoters, It is equally difficult to make his articles popular.

But generally speaking, everyone can only see the initiator, and the promoters behind the scenes are so hidden that it is difficult for the public to know. But it just so happens that Ning Zi has a cute little girl in March, and the complex Internet is almost transparent to it.

Therefore, among the 30 people present, at least 70% are the financial backers behind the scenes on the Internet. Naturally, Ning Zi is too lazy to give a good look. Everyone's interests and demands are not on the same line. As for the remaining 30%, there is a high probability that they will have the opportunity to work together in the future, and they will naturally have the opportunity to understand each other.

This is probably the situation. Ning Zi is too lazy to pay attention to these people. It is naturally inconsistent with his character to have him smile at these people.

The conference room also became quiet because of Ning Zi's words.

Some people started to look at each other, and some were dumbfounded.

In fact, many people have heard that Ning Zi has a bad temper and will retaliate, but those are mostly rumors. Only after personal experience will you know that rumors are often credible.

"Okay, it seems that everyone has no objections, so that's it for today. Please abide by the meeting discipline. Don't interrupt me when I'm making a report. If you have any questions, please leave them to the Q\u0026A session. Because I always believe that freedom is relative. , as I just said, if you don’t like to hear what I say, you can leave at any time. So if I don’t like to hear what you say, I can leave at any time, that’s it.”

After saying that, Ning Zi ignored everyone's expressions and sat on the small podium in the conference room.

Ningyuan was originally built for holding world-wide academic forums, so this medium-sized conference room is actually a venue for holding small lectures. The speaker speaks on the stage, and scholars interested in the research direction sit below and listen. After completing the report, you can ask questions directly to the reporter. So there are small microphones at each position, accompanied by simultaneous interpretation equipment, controlled by buttons on the small podium. There are also modern projection equipment and screens on the podium, but Ning Zi obviously has no intention of using these advanced equipment.

March was able to directly generate PPT for Ning Zi, but Ning Zi didn't think it was necessary. After all, some people in the audience were not worthy of hearing him talk about PPT.

The encounter in Huaqing made Ning Zi's love and hate particularly clear.

Chen Yonggang was slightly embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. While everyone's attention was on Ning Ji, he turned around and left the conference room, closed the door of the conference room thoughtfully, and went to drink tea next door.

The next report will have nothing to do with him, so he won't be pinched here.

Ning Zi watched Chen Yonggang leave and waited for everyone in the audience to find their seats. Then he turned his attention to the report prepared for him in March. Then he cleared his throat and used his signature unemotional expression. The tone of the color was read accordingly.

"Three-dimensional heterogeneous chip technology is an idea I came up with two years ago after reading a lot of literature. The focus of this technology is to increase the transistor attachment area through silicon substrates and CNT tubes. At the same time, because of the small radius of carbon atoms and the Silicon atoms have achieved the goal of accommodating more transistors per unit area. The actual product that the expert group saw today is the product of two years of careful consideration by me, and Apple provided equipment that can be produced and verified.

This time the laboratory designed the NB series IoT narrowband communication chip, because its structure is simple and it is the easiest to design and produce. The good news is that theoretically, through mathematical simulations, the chip R\u0026D center of TiDa has the ability to produce more difficult radio frequency chips. However, due to the lack of relevant R\u0026D engineers, development has not been carried out for the time being. Today I will mainly talk to you about the process from design to production of this new configuration of chips, as well as the required pre-equipment and material preparation.

The first is design. I believe you have seen that three-dimensional heterogeneous chips require transistors to be attached to the inner walls of CNT channels. This is different from the previous flat design model, which requires layout on a curved plane, so special design software is required. For this purpose, I specially designed a special EDA software-SB. Like other EDA software, SB integrates all functions from design to simulation, including but not limited to automatic layout design, line hole identification, image acquisition, mathematical models, automatic grid sorting, etc., without the need for any other tools. Complete design work.

Its simulation database also relies on more data collection, but our chip R\u0026D center will conduct various tests within the next 24 hours to quickly enrich our database. It is believed that within a very short period of time, there will be enough data in its database to support the simulation of more complex integrated circuits. Secondly, there is the preparation of materials and the required instruments and equipment. Because silicon and carbon are two different materials, in addition to conventional silicon, CNT preparation is also required. The standards are as follows..."

…

Ning Jie calmly read the speech prepared for him in March. It took about thirty minutes to briefly introduce the entire chip manufacturing process.

Covers almost all manufacturing processes, as well as the approximate investment in equipment and instruments. But it is impossible to speak more clearly.

If you really want to know that specific, you have to go to the laboratory and go through it.

Ning Zi naturally had no obligation to talk so much to these people. Theoretically, this technology belongs to him. Although it has not yet applied for a patent, this is not too important to Ning Zi. Next, once its commercialization potential is proven, someone will naturally help him operate it.

And the prospect of commercialization is just around the corner.

The reason why he chose to design the IoT narrowband chip first is because the robot industry he is preparing for next requires a large number of such chips. Whoever can grab this order will probably make a lot of money.

"The principle, material preparation, production process and various technical standards of the chip are introduced here. Next, we will focus on answering a few questions for you. First of all, many people know that my research and development work on this chip officially started about two weeks ago. Yes, more than ten days is almost negligible compared to the development process of a new heterogeneous chip. Naturally, you will have doubts about this. Here I will explain it roughly.

In fact, it is impossible to complete all the work in such a short time, and I am not a superman. The truth is, as I just said, I had this idea two years ago, and at that time I happened to meet some friends online through a well-known forum. Yes, it was my friends on the March forum. At that time, we agreed to design a new chip configuration that could bypass the current silicon-based semiconductor system.

When I was studying in Huaqing, I submitted an application to the school for research on new material three-dimensional heterogeneous chip design and production technology that bypasses Western patent sanctions. However, due to well-known reasons, I left before I received a reply. Huaqing. So this idea can only be put aside for the time being, but my friends on the forum have been helping me advance this research through their methods, including the design of SB, and I can only get enough attention and resources through other methods. .

If you have any questions about this, you can ask Huaqing for confirmation, because at that time I submitted an application letter through Huaqing’s internal undergraduate research support program. So I’m not actually a genius, I just happen to have the support of some friends and have been working hard in this direction. The equipment list for the chip R\u0026D center that I asked Apple to assist was also allocated based on the research results at that time, so there were no products such as photolithography machines and etching machines.

Secondly, there are questions about laboratory and mass production. During the experiment this half month, I have been keeping in touch with relevant equipment providers. The main transistor production and cultivation equipment still needs some upgrades to meet the conditions for mass production. At present, there are five main production equipment in the production process that must rely on imports, and some improvements and fine-tuning are needed to the original models provided. I have already placed a batch of orders through friends. Of course, technically speaking, there is no big problem with domestic production of these equipment.

Moreover, I have prepared relatively complete technical information here, which can be handed over to powerful domestic manufacturers for production in the future. I estimate that in about a year, we will be able to complete the nationwide production of new chip production equipment. As for the preparation of raw materials, as far as I know, there are currently two companies in China that can produce CNT tubes that can meet the existing technology. However, if you want to improve the technology and design more complex integrated circuits, such as CPUs and GPUs, you need To promote the process upgrade, I also have a complete process upgrade route suggestion here. But it's just a suggestion.

Finally, to carry out ultra-complex integrated circuit design and R\u0026D, our R\u0026D center also needs a group of high-quality researchers. And this is a long-term process, and our technology is for the future. So for now, these general-purpose complex chips including CPUs and GPUs still need to be imported. My suggestion is to properly demonstrate our new configuration chip technology and let the other party take the initiative to lower the price in order to suppress our research on the new configuration chip. The above are my suggestions. There are still twenty minutes left before the end of the meeting. Does any of you have any questions? "

I feel much better today and don’t need to take medicine anymore, so I will update more in the afternoon! Thank you everyone!
